And then there were 14 ........and then there were 20?

Seems that allot of people in my class had at best a "strange" and at worst "traumatic" holiday. Illness, family insanity, -you name it. and just to make things more interesting we found out this morning that one of our class mates dropped out over the holidays.

We are down to 14 students.

We have also found out that the fast-track class that started on Monday will be merging with our class in September. I was particularly unimpressed to find out about this as I came to this school very specifically for the small class sizes. I remember when I was interviewing (Someone -I don't remember who) about the school, I very specifically asked about the merging of classes. She assured me that this would "absolutely not happen"

HA HA.

I asked to speak to someone about this in the morning and I was told that if the class sizes are right this always happens Even if I could remember who I spoke to, it would be my word against theirs. I scoured the school policy book but there is no mention of merging classes.

I am S.O.L.

On a slightly better note, I found out today that the fast track class is only 6 students, so even with them added to our class that will only make 20. Well below the class size limit of 24 students.

I am less pissed than I was when I found out about this, but still, not entirely impressed.
